Static patches come in opposing pairs. To account for the pair, two sets of degrees of freedom are required. The Penrose diagram of dS in figure REF  shows such a pair of SPs along with their stretched horizons. Following [1]} the center of the SPs (sometimes thought of as the points where observers are located) will be called the “pode" and the “antipode." I'll also refer to the two SPs as the pode-patch and the antipode-patch.
